One of America’s great stories is that anyone can work hard and become wealthy. However, many work hard and feel as though they are personally to blame for their lack of prosperity. The gap between rich and poor is widening, particularly in communities of color and for women. During this entertaining and interactive lecture, Dark teaches participants about historical and current day trends on the distribution of wealth in America and how those trends affect us. Participants come to understand "the 1%" and how to work toward a more just economy.

AN EVER NEVER ANIMAL MUD LOVES LOVE Presented by The Sweethearts of Swing A Dance Performance by Sara Shelton Mann
TUESDAY, MARCH 17 TH @ 7:00P IN ARTS 111
This evening of dance by master artist Sara Shelton Mann is a collaborative series of solos created through self­inquiry and conversation. It is radically alive and poetic. It is a puzzle without a beginning or end. The work functions as both façade and transparency, to look through and listen into. Imagine what the performers will do next, and what they are thinking. Watch in retrograde. So now is the time from the heart. Form is relentless. Enjoy.
